2005 Star Wars Fan Film Entries Online

Marty Broxterman writes "The 2005 Official Star Wars Fan Film awards are underway, and the 16 finalists are now online. Three of the best entries are: Sith Apprentice - Darth Vader and other baddies duke it out to be the Emperor's new lackey in this parody of 'The Apprentice' - very funny, and the sequence with Darth Vader's "talent" has to be seen to be believed; Tiny Toys - Where a woman must defend herself from a pint-sized army of Star Wars toys. Almost a Kill Bill parody at times... amusing; and One Season More - a completely CGI rendition of one of the songs from the "Star Wars Musical" that's been floating around the web for a few years - some amazing animation. Voting for the contest takes place here."

I friend of a friend made a promotional ad for the lead of to episode one. it was 2 star wars nerds (the sort from the triumph the insulting dog bit) jumping the queue to see the movie. there were these 2 cute girls in line not very happy about this. one nerd turns to the girls and waves his arm a la Obi, proclaiming "This is not the movie you want to see. Go about your business." The girls leave in disgust with the 2 uber-nerds believing their jedi mind tricked worked. BRILLIANT STUFF!!!

Media sites rant

I know I shouldn't complain, but why the fuck can't companies just put links to the videos? Even normally sane organisations like the BBC do this crap.

I hate feeling like an luser - I thought it was just Linux, but I have problems in Windows too. :(

Wow

These vids make Episode 1 look good.

Start Wars Clone Wars....

For anyone who is a fan of animation and Star Wars, i highly suggest taking a look at the Star Wars Clone Wars mini series (directed by Gendy Tartakovski of Sarmurai Jack and Dexter's Lab). Very stylized and very engaging. Sometimes I think Star Wars would have been better off as such a series of cartoons or animations.

Instead of trying to portray ultra realism (and failing) why dont more producers just make the leap along with the audience of suspending disbelief and making a more interesting and entertaining production through animation?

Direct Links (but still likely incurs ads). Can someone tcpdump the shockwave and/or realplays and mirror them somewhere?

Sorry for the "full glory" stuff, but /. doesn't allow html posts with less than a certain number of characters per line (why?)
